In this early summer edition of The Bluest Tape, hosts Harvey Couch and Jeff Kollath discuss their recent Goose experiences, address significant news in the Widespread Panic community, and share insights about the evolving jam band scene.


Topics Discussed:

  • Summer camp activities for the kids and Harvey's upcoming Red Rocks trip (Sunday show - their 75th performance at the venue)
  • Major news about PanicStream's founder being arrested in a multi-agency sting operation and the community's response
  • Emergence of new platforms like Home Team FM to fill the void left by Panic Stream
  • Jeff's experience at Goose's show at The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri, including unexpected crowd demographics
  • Harvey's family trip to see Goose in Indianapolis at Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park
  • Analysis of Goose as both an entry point and comfortable destination for jam band fans
  • Discussion of how Goose's approach to covers appeals to their audience demographic
  • Reflections on seeing bands in their ascendancy versus established legacy acts


Goose Show Highlights:

  • St. Louis: Mississippi Half-Step cover, BMW and suburbs observations, hippie pep talk about living life with no regrets
  • Indianapolis: "Give a Time" for the kids, Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" cover, fantastic "Tumble" closer that had Harvey's youngest son hooting and hollering while recording with his phone


Venue Reviews:

  • The Factory in Chesterfield: Premium entertainment destination with Four Hands Brewery, Top Golf, and excellent amenities
  • Everwise Amphitheater: Great outdoor venue in White River State Park where Widespread Panic will play in August


Community News:

  • Discussion of the importance of decentralized archives and community-driven preservation efforts
  • Comparison to other bands' approaches to their musical archives


Personal Moments:

  • Jeff's encounter with the helpful hippie: "You got to live life with no regrets, man"
  • Harvey's son getting his first face-melting moment during "Tumble"
  • Family trip to Dot's Tavern in Wisconsin, established 1948


Recommendations:

  • Harvey: Ocean Gate documentaries (Netflix version preferred over Max)
  • Jeff: Continued Karen Reed trial coverage (NOT GUILTY!)


Closing Tunes:

  • June 18, 1996 show from Zoo Theater in Cincinnati featuring "Sleepy Monkey > Airplane" and "Do What You Like"


Notable Quotes:

  • "You got to get into it, man. Put that down and get up... You got to live life with no regrets." - Random hippie to Jeff at Goose show
  • "It's much more of a blank slate than what panic is, than what fish is." - Jeff on Goose's appeal
  • "There wasn't a point during the goose show where it's like, there's no point in this." - Jeff comparing to other jam bands


The episode explores themes of community, generational change in music scenes, and the comfort found in discovering new bands while maintaining connections to longtime favorites.
